A Chilled Tale: The Origins of National Iced Tea Month
While the exact origin story remains a mystery, iced tea's history in America stretches back nearly two centuries. The invention itself is believed to be a product of happenstance, with some accounts crediting the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. Legend has it that a tea vendor, overwhelmed by the summer heat, decided to serve his tea over ice – and a national sensation was born!
